Notes: Note source: No photo. Label source: Letter from 'E' Stratford near London Dear Sir, I regret having overlooked your letter, but hope my answer will be in time. I am unable to give any information as to the origin of this China cupaea. It occurs in trad, e but rarely, and the % of quinine is too small to be useful. Never the less I myself think that it must be the product of an unknown Cinchona. The Drimys granatensis is one of a variety of forms and the product comes in commerce very rarely, but this is, owing to its not being accepted in pharmacy. I do not see why it should be useful as a tonic and cordial ingredient. Yours very truely John Elliot Howard.
